BSO Decorators' Show House highlights Johnny Unitas' home

All items inside have been redecorated, are for sale

An event beginning this weekend will unite symphony supporters, football fans and decorators, from the amateur to the expert.

The 37th annual Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's Decorators' Show House opens on Sunday at the former home of Baltimore Colts legend Johnny Unitas and his wife, Sandy, in Timonium.

Those who attend will get to see odes to the football legend inside several of the rooms. The 1932 stucco home in Legend Hill on Timonium Road has been completely redecorated.

"Designers from all across Maryland have beautifully redecorated multiple rooms in this house. Visitors can get ideas about what they can do in their own home," said BSO Public Relations Coordinator Alyssa Porambo. "Everything in the home is for sale. You can purchase all the goods that you see here."

Inside each of the 24 spaces in the home, visitors will find "before" pictures and catalogs of each item. Proceeds from the show benefit the BSO's education programs.

The Decorators' Show House is the Symphony Associates' biggest fundraiser.

"All of the proceeds from the Decorators' Show House go directly to the BSO education programs, like the academy and the Baltimore Symphony Youth Orchestra," Porambo said.

Last year's Show House raised more than $100,000 and drew more than 8,000 people from all over the region.

Opening day is Sunday, with Show House hours running Tuesday through Sunday through May 19. Tickets are $25 in advance. For more information, click here.
